Los toros
Bullfighting remains popular in Spain and Latin America, although it is becoming increasingly controversial. Bullfights begin with the participants parading across the bullring in traditional costume. The fight has three parts: first of all, the mounted picador goads the bull with a lance; then the banderillero sticks barbed darts into it; finally, the matador performs a series of passes with his cape before killing the bull with his sword. A bullfighter who has performed well receives the ears and tail of the bull.
